Have You Got Any Idea?
04:21
|
|||
|
You put your feet on the exit line
Tryn'a get away
You see them rockets across the sky
On a cold Monday
Have you got any idea what's going on?
You think the world is turning on your smart phone
You put your dreams on material things
You think that I don't know
You never learned how to flap your wings
When you were left on your own
Have you got any idea what's going on?
You think the savior's coming with a pot of gold
Well, I was tired when you arrived here
And I left before you talked
But I could see in your eyes that there was something wrong
Something I'd already seen before
And now you're trying to apologize
But who do you wanna fool?
You keep it well under your disguise
Thought you were playin' it cool
Have you got any idea what's going on?
I thought that you were learning how to play the song
Well, I was tired when you arrived here
And I left before you talked
But I could see in your eyes that there was something wrong
Something I'd already seen before

The Secret
02:35
|

|
Marlene was a country rock singer
For Catherine's favorite band
She kept a little story with her
She wouldn't tell to a friend
They were back in town
With the tickets sold out
When Marlene decided to hang out
And in the middle of the night
Paparazzi came behind
And clicked her kissin'
Catherine's mouth
Down goes the secret
Though they'd been trying to keep it
Catherine's dad was the reverend in a church
He wanted another version
While her mom didn't get it that much
She thought that Catherine was virgin
But they made love that night
On a private jet flight
Not worrying 'bout the rumors below
Marlene had the means
Just outside of New Orleans
Where they could get a lot of blow
Down goes the secret
Though they'd been trying to keep it
Down goes the secret
And they'd been trying to keep it
Down goes the secret
Though they'd been trying to keep it
Down goes the secret
And they'd been trying to keep it
Yeah, keep it coming now
Keep it coming now
Keep it rolling now
Yeah, keep me coming now

Linda Lee
03:50
|

|
Well, she came up from Austin maybe ten years ago
In a two-door-pickup her grandfather drove
With a goal in her mind and a song in her heart
She was sure that California kept a brand new start
I was working as a waiter at an Italian joint
But for dreaming way too much I often missed the point
On the day that I was fired she was walking by
And I thought I caught a sparkle coming from her eye
Hello, Linda Lee
I know it sounds a little awkward,
but I may have seen you in my dream
Oh well, don’t you think
We could refresh this conversation
with a little something to drink
She asked ‘how do you know my name’, I said ‘it’s in the tag’
She giggled and accepted to go for a leg
We talked about our lives, both good and bad times
We made each other laugh maybe a thousand times
You know, Linda Lee
I’m sure it feels a little early, but don’t you think that we could free
Our souls and our hearts
And dive into this moment just like lovers at first sight
Can't remember the day she left no more
But I remember the stars shinin' on her floor
Tonight I'm gonna dream about her
So long, Linda Lee
I know there's something that's connecting your old loving to me
Farewell, if that's the word
Sometimes I feel like letting go, sometimes I feel like letting burn

Someday
03:07
|
|||
|
I wake up on a rainy day
To see your eyes again
They're filled with joy and hope
And all the messages are sent
Though we're lying on a bed
We ain't got money to pay
We both know this rain
Will have to stop someday
I believe it's the tower clock
That's calling on a trek
I feel the winds of changing
And they're blowing on my back
I feel something down inside
That's gonna put me on my way
And whatever that I'm looking for
I'll get to that someday
I'm just a rider rumbling through the night
I'm just a man with all the will to fight
This here is my song, my one and only prayer
Won't you come along, I just can't leave for later
My friends they're all goin' places
I ain't never seen
I'm lucky that I found you
In the middle of this dream
I feel restless in my bones
And I'm bound to catch that train
Leave your lights on in your porch
'Cause I'm getting there someday
I'm just a rider rumbling through the night
I'm just a man with all the will to fight
This here is my song, my one and only prayer
Won't you come along, I just can't leave for later

Up to You
04:49
|
|||
|
He is like the sun on a rainy day
Bringing you lies as it goes away
And you get less and less of your own self
To make him feel good
And you know that it's not a dream
'Cause every time you wake on a scream
But you go on and on with the idea
It's gonna be fine someday
Meanwhile your dreams will have to wait
While your boy drives you insane
Well, you must trust this motherfucker a lot
To know he'll make it up to you
To know he'll make it up to you
Well I think he plays with you
But you decide,
You decide...
Meanwhile your dreams will have to wait
While your boy drives you insane
Well, you must trust this motherfucker a lot
To know he'll make it up to you
To know he'll make it up to you
Yeah, he's gonna make it up to you

Sleepless Nights' Dreams
02:42
|
|||
|
I’ve been rollin’ down the line to you
Hoping to find you, girl
Workin’ to keep the horizon still
Beatin’ the heck o’ my old mobile
Baby, I’m weary from driving by
The ashes of mornings and half goodbyes
But you... you’re worth all the distance
I’ve been keepin’ an eye on the stars
Prayin’ to find you, girl
Playin’ the records I love the most
To see if the songs can describe our love
Maybe the bugs on the windshield know
A bit of the pain I feel when I’m gone
But you’re so light and resistant
I’ve been rollin’ down the old highway
Needin’ to find you, girl
Maybe I’m close to the end by now
Ringin’ your doorbell, knees on the ground
Baby, it’s simple: just let me in
I want you to feel all the love I bring to you
From sleepless nights’ dreams

Prisoner
04:00
|
|||
|
You're wanting me to be your robot
You're wanting me to live under your rules
You give me something and expect something back
Just let me tell you it don't work like that
I'm not your prisoner
I'm not your prisoner
I'm not your prisoner
I'm not your prisoner
You're playing games with my good will, you see
Making me think there ain't no victory
I know you're lying when you make that face
You make the world I live seem out of place
I'm not your prisoner
I'm not your prisoner
I'm not your prisoner
I'm not your prisoner
I've got my own king to check mate
I've got my own ball number eight
I've got some things to do before the sun goes down
Now won't you let me through
I must be freedom bound
I'm not your prisoner
I'm not your prisoner
I'm not your prisoner
I'm not your prisoner
No!

Trippin'
03:04
|
|||
|
Late-night movie stars echo from the upper floor
You've got nowhere to hide
There is a heart-breaking pain knocking on your front door
But someday somebody's gonna do you right
There's a list of people you've been trying to avoid
But they don't ever seem to leave you 'lone
With the midnight a-creepin' you are getting paranoid
But you know that it only goes to show:
How you've been trippin'
Now, you've been trippin' around
You go around town with your jet lag eyes
Just tryin' to look smart
There's people running 'round, but you're payin' little mind
If they're bound to hide their heads in the dark
You go around shopping, buying power rules
You sure have some time to mess around
If the street worker's blues ever hit the big news
You know that it only goes to show
How you've been trippin'
Now, you've been trippin' around
You've been around left and right
You've seen a lot of people cry
(But you know it only matters)
You know it only matters if you care
How you've been trippin'
Now, you've been trippin' around
How you've been trippin'
Now, you've been trippin' around

Back Seat
02:51
|
|||
|
Four in the morning we were cruisin' through the night
Goin' nowhere we were tryin'a feel alive
My baby riding shotgun with her feet up in the air
She told me to pull over and went crawling to the back
I pushed a tape of the Rolling Stones into the radio
She pulled me by the neck and I began to lose control
We were on the back seat, and it's alright,
'Cause to get to the morning you have to go through the night
On the back seat, rocking and a-rolling all the time
Shaken by the cars that were rolling through the road
Parked by the side with the hazard lights on
Nobody came to see, nobody gives a damn
If the heat on the window is a temporary friend
We were getting outta there she was putting back her worn out jeans
Driving in the sunrise like a steam engine machine
We were on the back seat, and it's alright,
'Cause to get to the morning you have to go through the night
On the back seat, rocking and a-rolling all the time

Down the road someday
I guess we'll meet again
Thanks for stayin' around this long
Thanks for being a friend
Whenever there was a hole
Or a story to be told
You were the one who filled it
You were the one who sang the song
There was a time
I used to lay around and wonder about the stars
'Cause in my mind
You used to be the kind of star that never broke hearts
You never let me down
There was a time
I used to lay around and wonder about the stars
'Cause in my mind
You used to be the kind of star that never broke hearts
You never let me down
Down the road someday
I guess we'll meet again
Thanks for stayin' around this long
Thanks for being a friend
Thanks for being a friend
Thanks for being a friend

Fulfill Your Heart
04:21
|

|
If you want it
Take your chance
I’m gonna show you the road
If you want it
Hold my hand
You’ll never know if you don’t go
I’ll let you fly tonight
You’re gonna feel inside
You’re gonna do all the things that you want
And then the sun will rise and you will shine
Then you’re never gonna let me go
I know, it’s night, you think the fire is out
But if you feel deep down what’s right
This will be yours until the end of time
So be ready, pack your stuff
Your life is moving too fast my love
But I’ll never let you go
I’ll be waiting for your soul
To find
I was here all along
I know, it’s night, you think the fire is out
But if you feel deep down what’s right
This will be yours until the end of time
Fulfill your heart
I'll be yours
I'll be yours
I'll be yours
